That right there, how in the hell did the Braves manage that, as a Braves fan you have to be absolutely loving life.

I was just about to mention those two when I saw this post
I'm pretty sure they were able to get stimulus checks last year so Reynolds should be happy he didn't have their agents.

I think people are looking at the Conforto situation and don't want to risk it. At the end of the day these guys get financial independence by playing a game they love every day. I'd take it too.
Oh, agree. Just seems like undermarket deals have become increasingly rare. And when people say it's not about the money, which is almost never true when those words are spoken; it's sorta refreshing to see the actions rather than the words. Players have every right to risk going for a max deal; but I'd have a hard time not locking in that money and enjoy playing the game.
I still remember when Mike Hampton left the NL Champion Mets to sign with the Rockies because he wanted his kids to have access to better schools. As someone who grew up in the NJ town whose public schools he eschewed and was teaching in Denver at the time I laughed hysterically. It had NOTHING to do with the dump trucks full of money my Rox handed out to Hampton and Denny Nagel that off-season!

Money is never a factor in baseball
